I've watched it. Yes, it's quite long but its so interesting that it doesn't feel almost an hour in length. It's very good and at the end of the day is the experience of someone who isn't a JW. The comparision is very strong but because it isn't a dub, jws might also be willing to watch it and maybe it trigger something in them.
Hey I can hope, can't I?

In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls
by processor inaccording to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.
it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.
thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.

I think there's a bug somewhere. The end of page 3 of this thread is not visible to me. Anyone know how to fix it? No point replying to me via this thread as I won't be able to see it.

You know if a dub had a found the perfect house like you have in those circumstances, they'd call it a blessing from Jehovah!
All the best as you move on in your life.

Might the Watchtower Society be preparing accept EVOLUTION soon?
by slimboyfat ini heard a public talk last week that was all about evolution and how it dishonours god, and it struck me just how out of date and confused many of the ideas presented were.
the speaker used the old example of the giraffe's neck, but made the classic mistake of mixing up darwin's theory of natural selection and lamarckism by poking fun at the idea a neck stretched through use could be passed on to offspring.
i wondered how an otherwise intelligent person (as this speaker is) could make such an elementary mistake.. it occurs to me that the society has been writing less and less against evolution in recent years, so there is less up-to-date ammunition for brothers to draw upon in talks.

No. Have you not seen the Feb Awake? Back to the usual out-of-context quoting and old school reasonings.
They can't pick and choose who was created and who evolved because the proof shows humans came from animals so they'd have to ignore that huge amount of evidence. I've just written a pretty long and in-depth email on this subject to a jw who was an evolution-believing atheist before she got converted. So it's kinda fresh in my memory.
I don't think they'll change their view on it. There's too much to unwrite in their publications if they do.

Was there any particular song or music u were not allowed to listen to because it was inappropriate or it was deemed demonized?
by jetery ini remember there was this heavy metal group called wasp.
some of the witnesses said it stood for we are satans people and that wasnt even true.
stairway to heaven by led zeppelin was a no-no because they said if u played it backwards it talked about worshipping the devil.

Anything by Micheal Jackson was totally forbidden. However, Janet was ok. Apparently she wasn't disfellowshipped (?)
Wasn't allowed watch Dirty Dancing coz of the title.
Our very conservative PO's daughter was a HUGE madonna fan although she thought saying "Flip" was a swear word! I kid you not!

I am getting a visit - help me prepare for it!!!
by eyeslice inmy wife tells me that i am getting two elders coming to visit me, i assume as part of the 'help them return' initiative.
seems strange that they have asked my wife, who still is a regular attender, rather than give me a call.. has anyone else had a call?
what should be my line be as i don't want to particularly appear 'apostate', especially if there is a chance they will disfellowship me if i take a hard anti-witnees line..

Last time an elder visited me, he gave me a fantastic poetic expression that I think you should use with these elders.
Tell them you're on a "journey" and its best if you find your own way. Go Oprah on them and they won't be long letting you alone!
